To address an essential need to 97 expand an atlas of genetic associations in non-European populations, we conducted 220 98 deep-phenotype GWASs (disease endpoints, biomarkers, and medication usage) in 99 BioBank Japan (n = 179,000), by incorporating past medical history and text-mining results 100 of electronic medical records. Meta-analyses with the harmonized phenotypes in the UK 101 Biobank and FinnGen (ntotal = 628,000) identified over 4,000 novel loci, which substantially 102 deepened the resolution of the genomic map of human traits, benefited from East Asian 103 endemic diseases and East Asian specific variants. This atlas elucidated the globally shared 104 landscape of pleiotropy as represented by the MHC locus, where we conducted 105 fine-mapping by HLA imputation. Finally, to intensify the value of deep-phenotype GWASs, 106 we performed statistical decomposition of matrices of phenome-wide summary statistics, 107 and identified the latent genetic components, which pinpointed the responsible variants and 108 shared biological mechanisms underlying current disease classifications across populations. 109 The decomposed components enabled genetically informed subtyping of similar diseases 110 (e.g., allergic diseases). Our study suggests a potential avenue for hypothesis-free 111 re-investigation of human disease classifications through genetics. 112 4 medRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.10.23.20213652; this version posted October 27, 2020.

  • ABO (ISBT 001) Blood Group Alleles V1.1 171023
    Names for ABO (ISBT 001) blood group alleles v1.1 171023 Names for ABO (ISBT 001) Blood Group Alleles General description: The ABO system was discovered as in 1900 and is considered the first and clinically most important system. The ABO gene and its 7 coding exons give rise to one of two principally different glycosyltransferases. The A glycosyltransferase (GTA) catalyzes the addition of a donor substrate, UDP-N-acetylgalactosamine, to an acceptor substrate known as the H antigen. The B glycosyltransferase (GTB) differs by only four amino-acid substitutions from GTA and performs the same enzymatic reaction but uses UDP-galactose as donor substrate. In this way, genetic polymorphism gives rise to two related antigens in this system. Any polymorphism or mutation that changes the activity or specificity of the encoded enzyme may therefore alter the ABO phenotype. Alterations that completely abolish enzymic activity give rise to the blood group O phenotype, in which the H antigen remains unconverted and no A or B antigen can be detected. If the genetic alteration decreases the activity of the enzyme, or alters its subcellular location and thereby decreases conversion of H to A or B, a weak A or B subgroup phenotype can result. Furthermore, certain polymorphisms result in promiscuous enzymes that can synthesize both A and B antigen, thereby resulting in the so-called cisAB or B(A) phenotypes. The A phenotype is divided into A1 and A2. The former is more prevalent in all populations and has approximately 5 times more A epitopes per red cell. The GTA1 is also better than GTA2 at synthesizing certain forms of A, .e.g.

  • Repetitive Elements in Humans
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Repetitive Elements in Humans Thomas Liehr Institute of Human Genetics, Jena University Hospital, Friedrich Schiller University, Am Klinikum 1, D-07747 Jena, Germany; [email protected] Abstract: Repetitive DNA in humans is still widely considered to be meaningless, and variations within this part of the genome are generally considered to be harmless to the carrier. In contrast, for euchromatic variation, one becomes more careful in classifying inter-individual differences as meaningless and rather tends to see them as possible influencers of the so-called ‘genetic background’, being able to at least potentially influence disease susceptibilities. Here, the known ‘bad boys’ among repetitive DNAs are reviewed. Variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs = micro- and minisatellites), small-scale repetitive elements (SSREs) and even chromosomal heteromorphisms (CHs) may therefore have direct or indirect influences on human diseases and susceptibilities. Summarizing this specific aspect here for the first time should contribute to stimulating more research on human repetitive DNA. It should also become clear that these kinds of studies must be done at all available levels of resolution, i.e., from the base pair to chromosomal level and, importantly, the epigenetic level, as well. Keywords: variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTRs); microsatellites; minisatellites; small-scale repetitive elements (SSREs); chromosomal heteromorphisms (CHs); higher-order repeat (HOR); retroviral DNA 1.

  • High Rhesus (Rh(D))
    Golassa et al. BMC Res Notes (2017) 10:330 DOI 10.1186/s13104-017-2644-3 BMC Research Notes RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access High rhesus (Rh(D)) negative frequency and ethnic‑group based ABO blood group distribution in Ethiopia Lemu Golassa1†, Arega Tsegaye2†, Berhanu Erko1 and Hassen Mamo3* Abstract Background: Knowledge of the distribution of ABO-Rh(D) blood groups in a locality is vital for safe blood services. However, the distribution of these blood systems among Ethiopians in general is little explored. This study was, there- fore, designed to determine the ABO-Rh(D) blood group distribution among patients attending Gambella hospital, southwestern Ethiopia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between November and December 2013 (N 449). The patients were grouped into two broad categories. Those who originally moved from diferent parts of Ethiopia= and currently residing in Gambella are named ‘highlanders’ (n 211). The other group consisted of natives (Nilotics) to the locality (n 238). ABO-Rh(D) blood groups were typed =by agglutination, open-slide test method, using commercial antisera (Biotech= laboratories Ltd, Ipswich, Sufolk, UK). Results: Overall, majority of the participants (41.20%) had blood type ‘O’ followed by types ‘A’ (34.96%), ‘B’ (20.48%) and ‘AB’ (3.34%). However, blood type ‘A’ was the most frequent (44.07%) blood group among the ‘highlanders’ and 50.42% of Nilotic natives had type ‘O’. The proportion of participants devoid of the Rh factor was 19.37%. Conclusions: While the ABO blood group distribution is similar to previous reports, the Rh(D) frequency is much higher than what was reported so far for Ethiopia and continental Africa.

The abo’ mutation causes a maternal-effect lethality that can be partially rescued zygotically by the abo+ allele and by increasing the dosage of specific regions of heterochromatin denoted ABO. This report describes the propertiesof abo’, a new Pelement-induced allelethat allowed us to reexamine the natureof maternaleffect defect. Comparisons of the phenotype of progeny of abo‘/abo’ and abo’/abo’ females show that the preblastoderm lethality previously described asa component of the abo mutant maternal effect results froma recessive fertilization defect associated with the abo’ chromosome. We demonstrate here that the abeinduced maternaleffect lethality occurs predominately late in embryogenesis after cuticle deposition but before hatching. The phenocritical period forzygotic rescue by heterochromatin coincideswith this periodof late embryogene- sis. We have used the abo’ mutation to map and molecularly clone the gene.We show that the abo gene is located in the 32C cytogenetic interval and identify the putative abo transcript from mFWA isolated from adult females.

  • ABO Blood Group a Transferase and Its Codon 69 Substitution
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN ABO blood group A transferase and its codon 69 substitution enzymes synthesize FORS1 antigen of FORS Received: 12 March 2019 Accepted: 17 June 2019 blood group system Published: xx xx xxxx Miyako Yamamoto 1, Maria Cristina Tarasco1,2, Emili Cid 1,3, Hidetomo Kobayashi1,4 & Fumiichiro Yamamoto 1,3 Human histo-blood group A transferase (AT) catalyzes the biosynthesis of oligosaccharide A antigen important in blood transfusion and cell/tissue/organ transplantation. This enzyme may synthesize Forssman antigen (FORS1) of the FORS blood group system when exon 3 or 4 of the AT mRNA is deleted and/or the LeuGlyGly tripeptide at codons 266–268 of AT is replaced by GlyGlyAla. The Met69Ser/Thr substitutions also confer weak Forssman glycolipid synthase (FS) activity. In this study, we prepared the human AT derivative constructs containing any of the 20 amino acids at codon 69 with and without the GlyGlyAla substitution, transfected DNA to newly generated COS1(B3GALNT1 + A4GALT) cells expressing an enhanced level of globoside (Gb4), the FS acceptor substrate, and immunologically examined the FORS1 expression. Our results showed that all those substitution constructs at codon 69 exhibited FS activity. The combination with GlyGlyAla signifcantly increased the activity. The conserved methionine residue in the ABO, but not GBGT1, gene-encoded proteins may implicate its contribution to the separation of these genes in genetic evolution. Surprisingly, with increased Gb4 availability, the original human AT with the methionine residue at codon 69 was also demonstrated to synthesize FORS1, providing another molecular mechanism of FORS1 appearance in cancer of ordinary FORS1- negative individuals.

  • SUPPLEMENTARY DATA ABO Blood Group Determined by Genotyping in the NEO Study in the NEO Genotype Data, Only Rs8176749:G>A Was Directly Genotyped on the Array
    SUPPLEMENTARY DATA ABO blood group determined by genotyping in the NEO study In the NEO genotype data, only rs8176749:G>A was directly genotyped on the array. Rs7853989:G>C was derived by imputation, with an imputation quality of 0.99. Rs8176719:insC and rs8176750:delC were not available and replaced by rs8176645:A>T (R2=0.98 with rs8176719:insC, imputation quality of 0.80) and rs8176704:G>A (R2=0.99 with rs8176750:delC, imputation quality of 0.99) separately. The best guess genotypes for the imputed SNPs were determined by the highest probability of the genotype with a minimum threshold of 0.7. If the highest probability of the genotype was below the minimum threshold, the genotype of that SNP was set to missing. Theoretically, 15 combinations of the four ABO alleles were possible, and 14 out of the 15 combinations were observed in the current NEO study population. Modelling the effects of ABO gene expression changes on insulin secretion in vitro The knock-down efficiency was assessed by Q-PCR (Light Cycler 480-II Real-time PCR system - Roche) on total RNA extracted using RNeasy kit (Qiagen), and reversed transcribed using M-MLV reverse transcriptase (Invitrogen). Fold induction was calculated using the DeltaCT method with GAPDH as housekeeping gene. The primers used were the following: ABO-Fw: ACAGACACTGAACCATCCTGGGTT; ABO-Rv: AGACAAACACTGCGAAGGGAAGGA; GAPDH-Fw: ATCATCCCTGCATCCACTG; GAPDH-Rv: ATCATACTTGGCAGGTTTCTCC. Transduced MIN6 cells were subjected to a GSIS assay. Briefly, cells were pre-incubated in a modified Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer with HEPES (KRBH) containing 2 mmol/l glucose for 1.5 h at 37°C.
